Thanks for everyones comments. Ive had another look at the specs and its pretty much straight off a template. If hoping I get the officer ive had a few times and we can work it out as we go.

Hello, I received the specifications etc for building regs on Friday and was told the invoice will follow soon. Im a bit concerned as in my experience building control sometimes want amendments or further information and this particular Architect has been unimpressive and thats being very...

Thanks. Does anyone know what the u value is and how its possible to get it? I think ive found online that its 0.29 and thats possible with 100mm of dritherm but that could be wrong. If its still possible to do it with 100mm cavity thats not too bad. I'd like find out what the smallest way of...

Hello. I wonder if anyone can bring me up to date on the regs for cavity walls (block and block). I've been out of the business for some time. Ive heard there's a change to the rules, or one is pending? But I cant find a recent part L by googling it. Back in the day you could reduce the cavity...

Hello the manual says buy brak fluid to dot 4. The word (to) is confusing me. does it mean including 4 as I assume? Thanks

Thanks for the help Dave. A little update in case anyone's interested. I found a company called crown energy who do electric and gas meter moves. A bloke turned up from uk power network to have a look and quoted me just over £1000 to move it 7m with me doing the digging. He said he'd email...

Hello, I would like to move an electric meter. The bloke from the power company said it cant go under the stairs these days. Which is a shame as its just the other side of the wall from its current position. The quote to move it outside is a lot of money. So If its being moved hardly at all is...

Hello, Firstly I think Team frames are mostly in the south of England. I haven't bought anything from them for nearly 10 years and the All I know is the house was cold afterwards for whatever reason. So anyone used them lately?

Hello, I was wondering if putting a boiler in a living was more common than I realised. And if any of you have come across it. In my case it would be in the corner just as you go into the kitchen and be in a cupboard so only the noise would be a clue that it was there. Or is it just too...

In that case most people would break up the blocks and put them in the foundations.

As mentioned, concrete first then the blocks laid on their side with 3 parts sand to 1 part cement to bed them/ Then the wall on top would be good.

Do you mean you want to lay the blocks as the foundation, or within the concrete foundation, ? And are they made of concrete?

Thanks for replies everyone. I got an ok price in the end. Im living there so that so that helped. The problem was when I did the initial search and it gave me a choice of companies. Then at the end of checking and agreeing to everything for an hour it said it couldn't provide cover. I would be...

Hello. I wondered if anyone has any recommendations for insuring the house while works are being done. Im finding it hard to find a company willing and when I do its not very good cover or very expensive. Cheers

Thanks for the tips gents. I got the job done using a 2 of the suggestions above to loosen the torx bit then did the rest with a 300,, flexible bit holder from screwfix on a cordless screwdriver.

Hello I need to buy a tool that holds a torx t30 but it would also hold screwdriver bits etc. And that would would obviously be in the end of a bar (the bar needs to be a certain length) then the ratchet would go off at a 90 degree. Its doing my head in as I dont know what its called so cant...

Thanks for your replies gents. Can you remember how much they charged?

To update, I called the receptionist again and the decision date is 2nd of July but don't hold my breath. The application was 9 weeks ago. She said they were delayed because they couldn't get to use the big printer. We do have notices up in this area by the way.

Hello people. I need the meter moving and when filling the form on SGN theres a few questions on whether I want them to do all of it or get someone local. So I wonder if anyone on here could advise which is best and/or cheaper. I would ideally like the gas cut off and someone come back after...

Thanks for replies folks, I called the council. you cant talk to planning but the receptionist said its been verified and given to an officer. Its 9 weeks today knowing my council it'll be a lot longer.
